Rio Sofa Collection

A sofa bed is measured twice: closed for the room, open for the night. The RIO combines both, with generous proportions, a sleeping area and a built-in storage compartment.

Measure closed, then open

The closed length and depth give the sofa's footprint against its wall. The bed, however, extends toward the center of the room: keep enough space in front of it to move around once the bed is unfolded, otherwise the coffee table will have to be moved every evening. Mark both measurements on the floor with masking tape before deciding.

What the storage compartment changes

The storage compartment holds everything that goes with the bed: a duvet, pillows, a throw, spare sheets. Store what you use most often there, rather than seasonal items that get forgotten. A breathable fabric cover is better than a plastic bag for the bedding kept inside.

Why the RIO appears twice

The model doesn't change from one page to the other: only the fabric and color change, as the product name indicates. Compare the two, then choose the shade closest to that of the floor and walls, because it is what holds the room together. A light seat brightens a dark room, while a deep shade better withstands everyday use.

Frequently asked questions

How much space should you allow in front of the sofa once open?

Add the depth of the bed to that of the closed sofa, then about sixty centimeters to move around. This total determines whether the room can accommodate the model.

What should you store in the compartment?

Bedding for the sofa bed first and foremost: a duvet, pillows, a throw. Choose fabric covers, which let linens breathe, over airtight bags.

How do you care for sofa bed fabric?

Vacuum regularly in the folds and corners, where dust builds up. On a fresh stain, dab with a damp white cloth, without rubbing.
